FIG. 20 is a view of the opposite side of the structure ofFIG. 19 ; and -
FIG. 21 is a partially disassembled view of an embodiment including the structure of i.FIG. 17 . - An exemplary embodiment of the
invention 20 is shown inFIGS. 1-10 and will be seen inFIG. 3 to include: abasin 22; amotor 24; apump 26; adrive head 28; amount 30; alight part 32; and acharge part 34. - The
basin 22 has anaperture 36. - With reference to
FIG. 6 , themotor 24 will be seen to have ashaft 38 and, with reference toFIG. 2 andFIG. 6 , thepump 26 will be seen to include ahousing 40 and arotor 42. Thehousing 40 defines: acavity 44; a pair ofoutlet ports 46 communicating with thecavity 44; an intake 48 communicating with thecavity 44; and apin portion 50. Therotor 42 is mounted in thecavity 44 and includes abody part 52 and animpeller part 54. - The
drive head 28 comprises a plurality ofmagnets 56. - With reference to
FIG. 8 , themount 30 will be understood to be constructed of translucent plastic and includes asocket portion 58, areceiver portion 60 and acover portion 62. Thereceiver portion 60 includes a plurality ofreceivers 64, a plurality ofposts 67 and aplatform 68. - The
light part 32 includes acircuit board 68, a plurality oflights 70 and areceptacle 72. - The
charge part 34 includes a plurality ofcoils 74. Eachcoil 74 terminates in aplug 76. - In use:
- the
cover portion 62 is mounted to thebasin 22 to seal theaperture 36; - the
basin 22 is filled with water; - the
motor 24 is mounted exteriorly of thebasin 22; - the
drive head 28 is mounted to theshaft 38; - the
rotor body part 52 is magnetically attracted to themagnets 56; - the
pin portion 50 of thehousing 40 is restrained against rotation by thesocket portion 58 of - the
mount 30; - the
circuit board 68 is fitted to theplatform 68; - the
coils 74 are fitted in thereceivers 64; - one of the
plugs 76 is fitted in thereceptacle 72; - rotation of the
motor 24 causes rotation of themagnets 56; - rotation of the
magnets 56 causes rotation of therotor body part 52 by induced magnetic fields; - rotation of the
rotor body part 52 causes rotation of theimpeller part 54 and a voltage - differential to be produced in the
coils 74; - rotation of the
impeller part 54 causes water, that enters thecavity 44 through the intake 48, to be forced through theoutlet ports 46; - the
coil 74 coupled to thecircuit board 68 produces power for thelights 70; and - the
basin 22 is illuminated by thelights 70. - The remaining plugs 76 can be coupled to other devices (not shown).
- It will be evident that variations of the above are possible.
- For example, a variation of the structure shown in
FIG. 7 is shown inFIG. 11 . - This structure functions is a manner similar to that hereinbefore described, but differs in that the coils are
flat coils 74A formed interiorly of adisc 80 which, as indicated by the sequence ofFIGS. 14A-C , snap-fits into the cover portion by means ofprotuberances 82A formed on the periphery of the disc which engage hollows 82B in the cover. The coils terminate inplugs 84A which project from the disc and which, in this variation, engagereceptacles 84B formed on a modifiedlight part 32A to provide, in use, for an electrical connection between thecoils 74A and thelight part 32A; thelight part 32A in this variant includesreceivers 86A which can engage plug ends 86B ofremovable cords 88. Only threereceivers 86A are shown; it will be understood that one of the flat coils in the disc, when connected, is coupled to thecircuit board 68 to produce power for thelights 70; each of the other flat coils is coupled to respective one of thereceivers 86A. - An advantage of this structure is that, in contrast to the tubular coils of
FIGS. 1-10 , wherein a load is borne by the motor whenever the coils are present, irrespective of load, in this structure, the motor only bears a load associated with a coil when the coil is coupled to a load. - Yet another variant is shown in
FIGS. 17-21 . In this variant, the annular circuit board ofFIG. 9-10 is replaced with a plurality ofmodules 94, each including a plurality oflights 96, a pair ofplugs 98 and aclip 100, one of themodules 94A including a circuit board. In use, theclip 100 of each module is secured to one of theposts 67 and the modules are plugged together. This variants functions in a manner similar to the structure ofFIGS. 1-16 , but has the advantage in that, if the circuit board fails, the defective module(s) can be replaced without removal of the cover portion from the basin, as indicated byFIG. 21 . - Other variations are possible.
- For example, whereas in
FIG. 11 , the flat coils appear identical, coils can be varied; finer windings result in more wire length, higher voltages and reduced current whereas coarser windings result in higher current and lower voltage. - Yet further variants are possible. Accordingly, the invention should be understood to be limited only by the accompanying claims, purposively construed.
